- 1970s Jen Elettronica Cry Baby Vs 1970s Colorsound Supa Wah Wah with a 1976 Orange OR80 and a 1974 Orange 4x12 with Pre Rola Celestion G12H30 75Hz Greenbacks and a 2010 Gibson Les Paul Custom Black Beauty.
Both sound nice but the CryBaby takes the cake in my mind. Nicely done once again Johan. Stay awesome!
+Tuomas Raatikainen Thanks man!
Man, thanks for all the demos of this beautiful gear that I would've never heard, if it wasn't for your channel. Your playing is really tasty and you somehow always bring the essence of the gear you use to life! Cheers
Thanks, a very nice compliment! Cheers Johan
I love that vibrato you do.
that cry baby is the real deal
+Carlos Reyes it sounds the most Hendrix! :-)
Your house is a beautiful marriage of new and old technology. All of which I'm in love with, and to think I use to think a marshal just sounded like a marshal and there was nothing more to it. Ignorance is bliss
+Jesse Belanger Thanks Jesse! I live in an old factory that's been converted to flats. Cheers
ive gotta say johan you have the best channel for us gear heads and guitar players and there are loads of marshalls thats very cool if you are from our generation then words like supro marshall orange vox are holy words keep rockin keep making vlogs
+huskvarsm holy words indeed, keep rocking you too my friend
That is the best... Let me repeat that. "The BEST" wah wah demo on UA-cam.
lolol... joke
Nice sound and great and informative video as always. I have a Crybaby super that is the same circuit I think. I almost got rid of it, glad I didn't. I noticed that zinc carbon batteries with a bit more juice (9.7V) seem to produce a bit more gain/sustain. I recorded different batteries and definitely heard a difference.
Jen sounds great! Sounds similar to my Vox V846 by Jen.
I almost though you were going to strip in the beginning 😂
+Wesley ACDCRythms haha, god forbid
Can't beat a bit of rf interference. Love the colorsound. Though they're all good. I use a sonuus wahoo. I did some demonstration work for them, was very taken with the ability to get different wahs in one box. I have it set up a little like a parametric EQ for some tones. A variation on the Schenker trick. Hope you're well mate great to see the orange stuff getting an airing. Take care
+PoJoWo I'm fine hope you're well too.And yeah the Orange gear sees more and more action around here. Cheers :-)
Oh, a Orange overdrive 120W head, I had too. It was from the late '70. Great sound. My hero of wah wahs is the VOX V846HW wah. Sweet in tone, not agressive like the cry baby wah.
+Michael Achenbach This is an OR80 but its exactly the same as OR120 but with 2 EL34 less. And yeah the Vox is more like the Colorsound with a longer range
That was super groovy...
I see different colors of color sound units what are they different models . Did someone make a reissue of these pedals I see some of them go for not too much on eBay verses crazy amounts of money all in all great video thanks for letting us hear your great playing
I already had two Coloursounds of those yellows that include a fuzz and volume. The wha wha of both was beautiful. They sounded sweet, colorful and dynamic. I had some Cry Babys but it always irritated me a little with its very sharp and thin tone. I also had Vox wha wha and it was what pleased me the most, sounding full bodied and with a beautiful tone. These two models tested sounded very different from the ones I had.
That's a really cool demo clip. Well done!
I've used Colorsound wah wah' in the past but the ones i have now have stopped working. It's the best wah wah with the best colorfull sweep i think. The Colorsound wah wah is what Brian Robbo Robertson used in Thin Lizzy.
Who, to my mind, is probably the greatest Wah player of all time. Colorsounds aren’t that great sounding if you ”yank” it with your foot. Whacka-whacka stuff. It requires to be played more in conjunction to what you are doing on your guitar, accentuating notes. PLAYING the pedal. The long throw/travel of the actually gives me so much more control in that regard than say, a Crybaby.
It’s got a completely unique voice and for that long throw/sweep and throaty, nasty growl...nothing beats it. All IMHO of course.
Oscar Sundbaum Exactly..thats exactly my feeling on it..when your talking about "playing it" as in notes with horn/ trumpet like wah inflections.. the Colorsound does it FOR ME..well said
Oscar Sundbaum and yes..the "voicing" is different 4sure..
Is the Colorsound wah the one used in the beginning Jailbreak?
OScaleAmtrak Yes Robbo played a Colorsound Wah Wah in Thin Lizzy
Johan is the hero we want and need.
+Alastair Tilley :-) you make my day, man!
nice vid..makes the real comparaison between a wah with an inductor and the other one missing it
The Cry Baby kills but the Supa is worth keeping too. Cool gear and cool playing.
Hey, to me the best wah from that period was the exltro-harmonix wahs, there is a pawn shop near me that has 2 of them, the normal one and 1 with the big muff built in, they sound great
Amazing!
+John Toth Thanks man!
The sound of both wahs was captured sooo nice, the crybaby wins for me just a bit!
Thanks, great to hear that
I think both pedals are really cool in there own way .
I think the supa is more geared toward cleaner funk guitar while the cry baby is more of an aggressive sound . perfect for Hendrix and his cranked plexis .
But that's just my opinion.
Always have enjoyed your video's .
Can learn something from each one.
Keep up the good work.
+old school Thanks, really glad to hear that!
sounds very nice
+Roey Ben Uri Thanks Roey!
enytime
I like the colorsound, reminds me of Thin Lizzy, its the same wah they used.I wish I knew those Jen wahs were good, and expensive. I had 2 of them and sold them for $50 bucks each, then I saw some on ebay going for a lot of money and was shocked, I should have kept them.
+Er Guitars yeah, it's funkier. The jen is more about rock.
Thanks for making a video!!!
You rock my world
+the0view0from0here Thanks my friend! :-)
I had the white fasel Jen cry baby. I had 2 actually. Should never have sold them. They were great..
A strat into the crybaby would have been a match made in heaven. Great nevertheless. But i dont like the supa as much, its too mellow for my taste.
+RorysIrishTour Yeah, Strat and Cry Baby is instant Hendrix :-)
awesome man!!!! you really rock;)
+David Padilla Thanks David! Really glad to hear that. Cheers
+Johan Segeborn good vibes from Argentina🎸
+David Padilla Greetings from Gothenburg Sweden!
beautiful country i benn there
+Roey Ben Uri Cool, which towns did you visit?
👍👍
Are there any room mic out there or is it a software reverb? It sounds nice!
Thanks Andras, I've got a room mic 8 feet out, pointing straight up, that I've panned hard right. And there is soft reverb on the close mic, ( Ipad/cubasis, 5s, 40% brightness) Cheers
nice video... btw what was that voice at 2.13?
+bedda matrix Thanks! That was the amp picking up radio transmissions I'm afraid:-)
ok I supposed it was something like that, and I've heard that it is possible to avoid the annoyance adding a smal cap in the pot. Unfortunately I do not remember the value... great playng anyway... :) and great pedals too!
I think it would be great is you demo'd a bass with a Marshall Super Lead. The Ripper would probably work best.
Hi, I do bass on a Super Lead in this clip.

Cheers Johan
Johan Segeborn Oops, forgot about that one! Great video, by the way!
Thanks! :-)
Crybaby with Red Fasel?
Most likely
Do your neighbors ever bang on your walls or complain?
+rickyboyz100 haha, no this is at very low volume
Right on!
A Morely Wah with the mojo component would smoke them both. I am not letting the cat out of the bag on this one. Work it out yourself.
The Ibanez WD-7 smokes all of them.
